Dear Members,
We are delighted to have recently appointed Marc Foster as the new
Head Coach for
Boldmere Swimming & Water Polo Club. Marc joins us from
Ellesmere Titans and has
previously worked at the Royal Wolverhampton School, where he
coached their Learn To
Swim (LTS) and Performance Squads. During his time with both clubs,
they were able to
secure multiple national finalists and medallists.
Marc is an experienced coach – he has led many of the Swim
England Development Camps
and been Head Coach for a number of international events. He has
been involved with
swimming all his life, competing until the age of 20 and coaching
either as a volunteer or
professionally from 2003. Throughout his career, Marc has inspired
and developed many
athletes to achieve beyond their expectations. Whilst he does not
have any direct Water
Polo experience, we will work with him to develop his skills in
this sport.
Boldmere is often referred by Swim England as the sleeping giant of
the West Midlands. The
sentiment here is that while we are the largest Swimming Club in
the region, and we do well
on a regional scale, we can perform a lot better when competing
against other regions.
Marc is joining us at an exciting time – and with a mission
to awaken this sleeping giant. His
main focus will be to build a strong teaching and coaching team,
supported by the
committee and our team of enthusiastic volunteers. He is also
committed to ensuring every
swimmer is able to enjoy the sport and can achieve success at their
respective level.
As a club we are seeking to develop and grow “Team
Boldmere”- by building strength and
depth across all squads, engaging with all swimmers to enhance
skill level, and making
everyone feel an integral part of our swimming community.
We appreciate that this vision may take a little while to achieve;
and while we strive to
always do what is best for our swimmers and the club, we need your
support and assistance
to get there.
Regards
Keith Munday
Chair
Boldmere Swimming and Water Polo Club
